I made this vegetable beef soup a lot last year and will again this year. It's simple and despite the fact that it uses canned vegetables, it tastes like you used fresh.
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can green beans
1 (15 ounce) can carrots with juice
1 (15 ounce) can sliced potatoes with juice
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (1.25 ounce) package beef with onion soup mix
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1.Place meat, corn, green beans, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, soup mix, and salt and pepper to taste into the slow cooker; stir to combine.
2.Cook on LOW for at least 6 hours. Add water if necessary.
It doesn't get any easier than this and it really is delicious. | |

THis is classic Jewish chicken soup that I've know how to make since I could reach the stove, we had it so much:
water
chicken
carrots (I like LOTS-makes it sweeter and more flavorful)
celery
parsnip
onion
fresh dill and parsley
garlic salt
black pepper
boil it up until your house smells good!
You can add white rice, noodles or matzo balls

These soups & stews are heavy rotation at our house, 3-4 nights a week:
Wisconsin cheese (usually with cauliflower)
Olive Garden's pasta fagiole (copy cat recipe)
Cheeseburger Soup
Chili
White chicken chili
Creamy tomato
Several times a season we will have PA Dutch ham pot pie (this is a thick soup/stew), beef stew and turkey noodle.
I am always experimenting and trying new soup recipes though to add them to our heavy rotation list. In the last week and a half I tried out a corn chowder and pumpkin chili recipe that did not make the cut. | |

Our most common because it is so easy is refried bean soup.
others:
cream of garlic (our fave!)
cream of potato
pumpkin/squash
white chicken chili
regular chili
If anybody has a good cream of lentil soup I'd love to have it!! I had it once in a restaurant and fell in love. | |

ScrappyAunt, here you go. It's super easy and delish:
1/2 pound sausage (She uses sweet Italian sausage removed from the casing)
1 onion, chopped
1 2lb-3oz can of italian tomatoes
2 13 3/4 cans chicken broth
1 tsp crushed basil
1/2 cup orzo or ascini de pepe
salt and pepper to taste
Cook sausage and saute onions. Add tomatoes, broth, basil, salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Stir in orzo. Simmer 20 minutes
Note, May want to add more chicken broth or it sometimes gets more like a stew when leftovers are refrigerated (I think the orzo absorbs the liquid) - but even as a "stew" it's great).

1 cup diced onion
1 cup julienned carrot
3 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can v-8 vegetable juice
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Two of my favorites are:
Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
1 (4.5 ounce) package quick cooking long grain and wild rice with seasoning packet
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream (I substitute milk. Cream makes it too thick.)
Directions:
1.In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water and chicken. Bring just to boiling, then stir in rice, reserving seasoning packet. Cover and remove from heat.
2.In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and flour. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in contents of seasoning packet until mixture is bubbly. Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour mixture by tablespoons, to form a roux. Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.
3.Stir cream mixture into broth and rice. Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Chicken Enchilada Soup (tastes just like the one at Chili's)
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 quart chicken broth
1 cup masa harina
3 cups water, divided
1 cup enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions:
1.In a large pot over medium heat, cook chicken breasts in oil until well browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2.Cook onion and garlic in remaining oil until onions are translucent. Pour in chicken broth.
3.In a bowl, whisk together masa harina and 2 cups water until well blended. Pour into pot with remaining 1 cup water, enchilada sauce, Cheddar, salt, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil.
4.Shred cooked chicken and add it to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until thickened.
They are both so easy and sooooo good! Enjoy!!

I love soup. I'd make at least one pot of soup a week in the fall/winter. After 5 years of knowing DH and 1 year of marriage he tells me he doesn't like soup.  Seriously, how can you not like soup?  So now I make it sparingly, every couple of weeks. I've found that if I make a chunkier/heartier soup that he can ladle the stuff from with little broth, he'll eat it.
Taco/Chicken enchilada soup
Wild Rice & ham soup
Those are the two that he will eat without much compliant.
But I love split pea, navy bean with bacon, beef barley, chicken noodle, corn chowder, clam chowder, pumpkin soup. | |

white chicken chili recipe?
here's my version:
take 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 3 split chicken breasts and cook in crock pot with a cup of water in the bottom until the chicken will shred with forks. if using split chicken breasts, remove the skin and bones when chicken is cooked through. by this point, you should have a good bit of chicken broth in the crock pot. add 2 cans of white shoepeg corn, 2 cans of great northern white beans and 2 mccormick chili seasoning packets. stir well and simmer until ready to eat. i serve mine with a dollop of sour cream on top. | |

Throwing an apple into thicker soups is fantastic!
Once it is chopped and cooked or pureed you would never know it was apple and not potatoes.
